On 13 February 2025, the party qualified to run in its first election in the March 2025 Greenlandic general election, after collecting the 856 voter endorsements required for a political party to stand in that election.[3][4] At that time, the candidates for the election had not yet been finalized and neither had the candidates for the municipal election on 1 April 2025.[4][5]
Positions
The party's platform is focused on rapid independence from Denmark and beginning the extraction of oil from Greenland.[2] Party leader Karl Ingemann was the only Greenlandic party leader to voice his trust in President of the United States Donald Trump ahead of the 2025 elections.[6]
